endometriosis on bowel?
I never knew you could get this after a hysterectomy? Have you actually been diagnosed?
I am also having major health issues since my hysterectomy with a bladder repair, small cyst removed with ovaries removed also.
I have the same problem as you regard not being able to go at and then I can’t stop going. I now require another bladder repair and have been told that I may also have a hole in my bowel and damage to the back wall of my bowel since the operation.
I would love to hear more from you please.
Best wishes CC

Yes endo is NOT always cured by having a hysterectomy, I know cause I had one @ 32 but still have severe pain in right side (kept one ovary) and horrible problems with my bowels where doctors found adhesions & endo during several previous operations, so yes endo does & will come back if not treated durig the hysterectomy,all lesions have to be addressed or any little bit of estrogen will cause the eno to stay put & adhesions are horrible* Good luck to all*

I had a partial hysterectomy but not due to endo. I have noticed since my hysterectomy (1999)...I have had bowel issues. I was told it was IBS. I was also told that it could be adhesions causing some of my pain. I had 2 C-Sections & my hysterectomy cut on the same spot. You fix one thing that causes another issue. HAH!

Endometriosis can grow back again on other organs...Bowels, Ovaries, behind Bladder or Uterus...The pelvic area is where they occur...
